Reading an excellent editorial over at Capitalism Magazine on Obama's end-game to destroy Israel ("Obama's Vision of the Middle East Means The Death of Israel"), I was once again reminded that the one thing that needs more emphasis in the commentataries on Obama's "objectives" or "intentions" is what columnist Ed Cline more than hints at -- the one key fact of Obama that most people can't seem to get their heads around, or refuse to consider as "conspiratorial", "unbelievable", "impossible": that Obama's intentions are not the random result of ignorance or incompetence, but have the deliberate, conscious and purposeful goal of destruction.

In the case of Israel, his objective is the destruction of Israel, pure and simple. In the case of the United States, whether by profligate spending to bankrupt us, evisceration of our nuclear arsenal to make us defenseless (coming soon, evisceration of our conventional arsenal, too), or a healthcare law that is the germ of a future totalitarianism to enslave us, his goal is the literal destruction of the United States.

I won't dwell here on the motivations for the apparent nihilism of Obama (is it nihilism if you do it in the service of some existential master?), but it has to be answered at some point to better understand the danger he poses everyone--even his own supporters. (For deeper motivations, read "Good Night, America.") But whoever or whatever he serves, what Obama stands for, even if he doesn't know it himself, is the primordial creature that has been stalking mankind for thousands of years, and which is now ready to pounce once again.

If I may paraphrase maybe too generously from Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead", it has to be said. The world is perishing from an orgy of self-imposed delusion -- that Obama is simply "misguided" and "inexperienced" but is still "well-intentioned". He isn't. And our lives depend on everyone understanding that.
